若在阨窘中——感思中国舞剧创作的当下困境

As in the E Jiong: Current Dilemma of the Creation of Chinese Dance Drama

中国舞剧就其创作体量与创作主体而言,占据舞蹈艺术创作的绝对中心地位。可以说舞剧创作形态几乎反映了舞蹈艺术创作的总体面貌。中国舞剧引入西方的创作手法与编舞经验的同时并未形成自己独到的审美范式与美学观念;尚未理想地实现艺术想象力、情感表现力的极大解放;舞剧中有关"中国形象"内涵的创造尚无法从本质上接近中国传统哲学思想、美学精神、民族文化的本源。面对宽松的文艺创作环境,面对峥嵘的舞剧创作,媒体的评价、传播的成功并不等同于艺术上的成功。近年来的舞台呈现及实践过程,因为浓烈的"演故事"的情结,把"用舞剧手段把故事讲清楚"变成创作的一个重要标准甚或法则,构建剧性与构建舞性将当下舞剧创作引向了形式主义的高地。中国舞剧要建立起拥有"绝对魅力值"的舞蹈形式体系,这个形式体系需有极浓重的"中国"烙印。

Chinese dance drama, in terms of its creation volume and creation subject, occupies the absolute centre of dance artistic creation. The forms of dance drama can more or less reflect the general situation of dance artistic creation. While introducing Western creation methods and choreological experiences, Chinese dance drama hasn＇t formed its unique aesthetic patterns and concepts and neither has it realized the maximum liberation of artistic imagination and emotional expression. The creation of the connotation of ＂Chinese image＂ in dance drama is unable to basically relate to the origin of Chinese traditional philosophical thoughts, aesthetic spirits and the ethnic culture. Situated in a flexible environment of the creation of art and literature which is extraordinary, criticism of the media and the success in dissemination do not equate to the success in art. Owing to the interest in ＂performing a story＂, it is noted in recent interpretations and practices on stage that ＂using the dance drama methods to tell the story＂ has become an important criterion or law in the creation. Meanwhile, the construction of drama and dance leads to the creation of dance drama in a formalistic direction. This formalistic system needs extreme Chinese stigma to build Chinese dance drama into a dance form system with ＂absolute charming value＂.
